Pastor Folu Adeboye, the wife of RCCG General Overseer Enoch Adeboye, has revealed she threw all her gold jewellery into the lagoon after becoming born again. In a resurfaced video, she explained that wearing such items was discouraged in the early days of the church. Despite setting aside gold for her young child, she chose to discard everything rather than sell or give them away, including refusing a family friend’s suggestion to pass them to her mother, saying, “whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother.” She briefly switched to copper accessories but has no regrets.
